[Verse]

I often don't know what I'm feeling

Cause emotions don't seem so appealing

After years of trials

Inspired not by my own errors but

Deception, debasement and terror

Exes who cope just to kill

A few years ago I bought a handgun

Cause the CHAZ made me feel I should have one

I was there for two weeks

Working graveyard shift on the borders

Revolution is it’s own reward, or so i was told, I just moved forward

Then came years of dissociative addiction

Ketamine, nitrous, 3-MEO-PCP & 2-FDCK

I zoomed so far outside the planet

That forgеtting four suicides was painless

Becausе friends don't exist in the hole

So go ahead and spread that I'm dangerous

Go ahead and tell them I kidnap, I rape and I kill, pick any lie you want

Cause nothing that you ever say or do

Will ever be worse than relearning to

Use toilets and eat solid food

Nails in my sarcophagus

My blown-out esophagus

Frozen lungs and frostbitten fingers

Gabapentin, alcohol

LSD and adderall

Turns out I've got baggage after all

Countless nights with zero sleep

Everyone says I'm a creep

Hey, tranny, can you relate to me?

Like a gunshot in a crowded mall

From the women's bathroom stall

There’s no use in trying after all

There's a perpetual disorder inside girls with field recorders

We don’t care and we don't know

We'll just plant ourselves and hope we grow up, but

How much longer are you willing to pretend

That you don’t wanna catch a load in the rear end from

Some girl who insists you call her, "Mommy"?

It’s obvious, at least to me

Mammals have a tendency

To generate sexual fantasy based on dynamics of the family

But the more that you treat it like a big taboo

The more people are going to

Submit, dominate, and crave abuse

Living for this thing that bothers you


[Outro]

Quit while you're ahead

This was always our new normal now

Quit while you're ahead
